...would be a good idea if the captain of the Mott Haven team would take the matter in hand as did his predecessor last year, issue a notice of when and where the first run would be held and I am sure that he would have no cause to complain of lack of support. Last year there were always twenty or thirty fellows who started off after the hares and there is no reason why the exercise should not be just as popular this fall as it ever was. Next to foot-ball, Hare and Hounds is the most invigorating...
...freshmen. This matter ought to be looked in the face squarely. It is not alone in the celebration of "Bloody Monday" that an undesirable spirit is shown, in other ways and at other times the same spirit presents itself. There are few Harvard men who have not heard fathers complain that the social system in Cambridge was so rotten that they would never send another son here.

Besides contests with other college crews...
...freshmen. They understand that the matter has not been settled as yet, and are impatient for some final action. It is plain, however, that the Yale challenge was acted upon decisively by Ninety and as far as technicalities are concerned nothing has been done of which Yale can justly complain. Ninety has voted to row the Yale freshmen on the Charles, or not at all. Thus far, the matter is decided. But we believe that something more must be done. There is a feeling prevalent in college that the freshman class in voting as they did, failed to show...
